That's correct, but it is "cleaner" to delete dynamic storage,
because:
- it makes analysis with leak checkers (such as valgrind) easier, and
- you never know when you'll want to reuse this code in a loop, and
  if the code doesn't do cleanup, you'll run out of memory really fast.

No, it can't. *Not* freeing the memory will never cause a segfault
(but it can cause abort if the allocator runs out of memory).

Wrong. Mixing C and C++ is perfectly safe, and does not *in itself*
cause any segfaults.

You have a bug, and valgrind will likely show it to you immediately,
so why don't you stop wasting time hypothesisizing what the problem
might be, and use proper tools to find it.
